Abstract
IgG-autoantibodies are encountered in a number of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus
cryoglobulinaemia, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or hypersensitivity pneumonitis’“’. The involvement of autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, however, is far from fully understood.
